Children with Challenging Behavior 
Just read Barbara’s podcast about challenging behavior and it was as if she was at our school this semester! We have 3 kids with prominent, challenging behaviors, 2 who have been assessed. Your answers in the interview/ podcast were most helpful and are leaving me wanting more & in depth info about the “2nd step” procedure/ program( I will look it up).
I am wondering if you will be speaking/ presenting in the new year-2017 in the Austin or surrounding areas? If so, where & when?
Thank you for sharing your experiences, support of EC teachers, your wisdom & your hope for the future!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Barbara will be in touch with you soon.
Its an excellent article on related to my study, hence i need the valuable guidance of Madam Barbara
